mong the many things that make Gwinnett County residents proud are its restaurants, and if you live anywhere in metro Atlanta, you know that one meal reigns supreme: brunch. If you’re in Gwinnett and looking for a great place to enjoy that late-morning, early-afternoon feast of Southern-styled comfort and joy, you can take pride in knowing you’re in the right place. Here, 10 great brunch spots to try.
A
Parkside District Seafood and meat are the specialties at this farm-to-table tavern that’s been serving Lawrenceville since 2016. The menu’s full of impressive eats for all three meals but for brunch you’ll never regret ordering the Gouda grits, Cajun hash, or chicken and waffles—the latter is a perfect plate filled with crispy fried chicken and a Belgian waffle topped with fresh berries.
Uncle Jack’s Meat House Peachtree Corners The “Boozy Brunchers” menu at this American bar and grill is quite serious, evidenced by the two-hour bottomless brunch cocktail offered on weekends for just under $25. You’ll certainly want something hearty to eat if you take the drink deal so go for the brisket Benedict. The brisket is smoked for eight hours and served with hollandaise, a poached egg, glazed asparagus, and a housemade biscuit.
Cosmo’s Pizza + Social For two decades, this downtown Lawrenceville pizzeria and neighborhood bar has been a favorite for Italian food lovers, sports fans, and folks who enjoy live music and entertainment. Come for the game, and stay for the fresh-baked bread basket, smoked salmon flatbread, or the brunch pizza, made with bacon and sunny-side up eggseggs. Pair your plate with a mimosa bucket or trips to the Bloody Mary bar.
Three Blind Mice Equal parts restaurant, cafe, and wine bar, Lilburn’s Three Blind Mice is intentional about the experience of enjoying brunch and wine, in concert with comfortable surroundings. A great example is the slow-cooked Low Country shrimp and grits, served in a white wine garlic cream sauce with bacon and mushrooms. If that doesn’t call for a glass of vino, we don’t know what does.
